I knew a guy who used to dumpster dive the gibson factory back in the day. . . when gibson would mess up to much on a guitar to call it a factory second they would saw the guitar into quarters and throw it away. He would then put them together into franken gibsons much like this thing.

if I lived there I'd buy it post haste for $150.00!!

 

give that thing a black or white paint job and it's the real deal - probably sounds as good as any orther Gibson

Interesting position for that lone pickup.

I saw a truss rod cover for a 59 or early 60s Les Paul on eBay fro $1500

I'm sure its a fine guitar, and a pretty cool propisition if your a player .. . a Gibson you can totally trash and throw sickers and paint onto.

[NITROHOLIC]

i would buy that in a heartbeat.

[Poltergeist]

would buy. i mean, get that, take it to a luthier to cover up those holes and {censored}, paint it, should be a mighty fine guitar. he'll even probably get it down to 120 oe something.

i'd be too worried about the floods to go pick it up

All those holes mark where the gibson electronics should be. so the only holes ud really have to cover up is where he put that stop tail piece.

I'll bet it plays GOOD.

Looks like the bridge was mounted over the pickup route.

That could never intonate, let alone be stable.
